Apple is scared
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, September 03 2012 @ 04:23 AM EDT
To meet a UK judgement they're likely to have to publish a 'Samsung did not
infringe' statement. How's that going to look - Your Honor, we have here Apple's
own public admission that we did not infringe. In any sane legal system that's
the end of the story and a huge financial liability for fees and compensation.

Apple is scared NOT

Apple isn't scared. Why should they be?

There isn't any type of people that's more sensitive and impressible to trends
than lawyers and attornies. And judges, I hazard.

They all top it off with snobism that masks their ignorance, which means Apple
is King and any competition in their eyes is actually just subversion.

not scared, in denial would be my guess
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, September 04 2012 @ 05:05 AM EDT
Mind you, i have not researched this, but my gut-feeling
based impression:

- Samsung 'popped up' with iTing-alike stuff in -for
apple- incredible speed.

- Samsung is actually overtaking iThings in functionality
and diversity (assuming a one-for-one ban on products, who
would run out of devices to sell first, Apple or Samsung).

- Samsung is far from 'unique': there a re and abundance
of non-I-Phone makers.

Apple did 'prove' that the time and market was ripe for
iPhone and iPad-style devices, credit for that, but apple
seems to be forgetting that their stuff was never
mainstream.

For a short while those iPhone/IPad thingies
where 'unique'; Without actual alternatives, they could
get 'mainstream', before being once again overtaken by
functionally equivalent -or better- cheaper
mass-production alternatives.

Any attempt to stem that tide (surely with the 'patents'
and 'dresses' used now) is -i think- denial of 'the place
in the market' that apple 'stuff' has: stylish,
incompatible, underpowered and overpriced hardware that is
partially compensated for by brilliant software.

Dear Apple: It's not the right time to attempt to force
all of us to buy your Rolls-Royce.
